EEG signatures of cognitive impairment during stages of cognitive decline KU Leuven
Cognitive decline is one of the main traits of several neurodegenerative disorders and can severely affect the life quality of both patients and caregivers. There are around 50 million dementia patients worldwide, a number that is expected to escalate rapidly in the future. The early and objective assessment of cognitive deficits, irrespective of their origin, not only serves diagnostic purposes, but is also crucial to assess the speed of ...
PACTAM: A longitudinal investigation of the dose-response relation between Physical Activity and CogniTive decline in older Adults with Mild cognitive impairment Ghent University
In 2018, about 50 million people were affected with dementia and this number is forecasted to triple by 2050. An important way to “curb this
tidal wave of dementia” is to prevent cognitive decline in high-risk groups such as people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). One of
the key determinants for dementia prevention is physical activity as physical activity interventions have shown to improve cognition in
MCI-patients. ...

Quantifying ageing related cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment KU Leuven
University of Ljubljana, located in a low R&I performing country, will partner with two internationally-leading organisations, the Medical University of Graz and KU Leuven, to expand the support and coordination capacity for national and European research in ageing-related decrease in brain functions leading to dementia. By 2025 more than 25% of European population will be over 60 years old, with people over 80 increasing most rapidly. ...

Understanding cognitive vulnerability for depression: A network analysis of the role of cognitive control in emotion regulation processes Ghent University
Prevention of recurrence of depression is an important societal challenge. There is need for
fundamental research focusing on mechanisms underlying depression vulnerability. Recent studies
show that cognitive control training (CCT) procedures hold potential in improving emotion
regulation (ER) in at-risk and patient samples, providing evidence for the causal involvement of
cognitive control in depression vulnerability. ...

Mapping the interplay between cognitive biases and impaired reappraisal: An integrative approach towards understanding cognitive risk factors for depression. Ghent University
Depression is among the most debilitating of all mental disorders. Understanding its multifactorial nature presents one of the biggest challenges to improve the current treatments. Our project aims to advance this understanding by mapping the interplay among several key cognitive risk factors for depression. Under scrutiny are cognitive biases in attention, interpretation, and memory that result in the exaggerated processing of negative ...
